About The Wu Wei

Maybe the journey isn't about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be all along.

I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist, with over 25 years experience in private practice.  I am based in the delightful village of Burton Village in East Yorkshire, where you are welcome to come for face-to-face in-person therapy in my delightful garden room.

I am committed to inspiring and empowering others and so enabling them to live life more fully.  I will welcome and work alongside you supporting and encouraging you to discover who you are and all you may become, helping you achieve your potential and find your personal style of being in the world.

I am exerpeienced in working with individuals with neurodiversity (ASD/ADHD), anxiety, attachment concerns, individual and relational trauma and sexual issues.  I support those navigating pregnancy and the post natal period and work with loss and bereavement.

Relationship are often gnarly, full of joy and ecstasy together with pain, shame and revulsion. No couple lives "happily ever after" (what ever that means) but what keeps some of us hanging in there and not giving up, while others give up and walk out of the door? 

I will sit along side you and bring awareness to what is happening, allowing/encouraging it to complete. To elucidate and give a pattern for what needs to happen next in your relationship. Together we will make sense of this relationship soup, exploring:-

• Conflict
• Body  language
• Intimacy
• Symptoms
• Origin Story
• High and Low Dreams

"All of us possess a deep intuitive intelligence that moves us to repeat our experiences so we learn from them. So we can get to know our story and its purpose in our lives. So we can use our greatest challenges to activate our development and then drop the past that no longer serves. So we can participate in making our lives meaningful and whole. So we can love. And give back to the world."

~ Jan Dworkin

Nature is so essential to our wellbeing, and what could be better than walking, talking, and connecting with nature in the beautiful East Yorkshire Wolds.

There is a reason why walking amongst nature is most people’s best advice when depression strikes. 

Because walking in nature is a return to ‘home’. 

You are not a lover of nature, or a fan of nature, you ‘are’ nature.

You are as much nature as the trees in your garden and the bees on your picnic. 

You were designed to live your days out in the wild with your fellow creatures and plants but progress, humanity, had different plans for us all. 

And so we exist day-to-day, in our homes, but never ‘home’. 

The quickest route back to self, to inner peace, is bare feet on grass, arms around trees, head in the clouds and heart in a forest. 

Put your bones in water, whenever you can, smell each flower you see and crumble dirt between your tired-of-typing fingers. 

You are nature, go home once in a while. 

It will bring you much you didn’t even know you were missing. 

You Are Nature ~ Donna Ashworth
